Two days later, Lu Zhu and Zhao Yun returned to Linyu.

Tian Yu did not come with him, and still stayed in Youbeiping to take up his post.

In fact, Tian Yu's stay in Youbeiping was a good thing for Liu Chuang. As long as his heart is towards Liu Chuang, staying in Youbeiping can play a more role. And for Tian Yu's thoughts, Liu Chuang can also understand. After all, Liaodong is so big, and with Yan Rou, it seems a little redundant for Tian Yu to come over again. In short, Tian Yu has already expressed his intentions, and whether he can be recruited depends only on Liu Chuang's appearance.

In this regard, Liu Chuang is not in a hurry.

"Zilong, why did you come back together?"

When Liu Chuang received Zhao Yun and Lu Zhu in the county office, he saw three uninvited guests.

Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian!

The three of them arrived in Linyu with Elk Zhu Zhao Yun.

In Linyu in July, the weather has begun to cool a little...... During the Three Kingdoms period, Liaoxi was still in the Xiaoice River era, and the temperature was much lower than that of the Central Plains.

Xu Shu and the three of them were dressed in green shirts.

But obviously affected by the weather in Jingzhou, the clothes were slightly thin, so that they looked quite eye-catching.

"Childe, this Liaoxi is really cold."

Tai Shixiang stomped his feet and smiled bitterly at Liu Chuang: "I heard that Liaodong is bitterly cold, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

When we passed through Jizhou, this dress was still a little heavy. I didn't know that when I arrived in Youbeiping, it seemed that there was a little less. ”

Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Everyone has worked hard all the way, go rest first, add some clothes, so as not to catch the cold." ”

Then, he waved his hand at Xu Shu and the three of them: "Yuanzhi, Guangyuan, Gongwei, this time I am a little reckless, the three gentlemen have traveled thousands of miles and come from a long distance." It must have been hard work. I know that Yuan wants to see the old lady immediately, but the old lady is not in Linyu now, but in Guzhu City. It's getting late, so it's better to settle down first, take a rest, and I'll send someone to send Yuan Zhi early tomorrow morning. ”

Xu Shu is seven feet seven inches tall and is extremely heroic.

Maybe it's because of the early years of sword practice, so in every gesture, there is a heroic spirit.

In contrast, Meng Jian, Meng Gongwei's appearance is not bad. Quite prestigious, but slightly weak; And Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan ...... At first glance, it looks like an old farmer. Somewhat rustic. But he has a restrained heroism, and if you don't look closely, it's hard to see his depth.

To be honest, Xu Shu was a little dissatisfied with Liu Chuangyuan.

Youzhou has been a bitter cold place since ancient times. Liu Chuang brought his mother to Youzhou. It made Xu Shu feel very annoyed. What if I get sick in my life? But when his mother wrote to him, she told him that she had voluntarily followed Liu Chuang and had no compulsion.

This also made Xu Shu feel helpless, he had just gained a foothold in Jingzhou. I plan to take my mother to Jingzhou.

But I don't want to......

Along the way, Xu Shu had a stomach full of resentment.

But seeing Liu Chuang so polite, it was not easy to attack. He was in Jingzhou. I often hear people mention Liu Chuang, and I am full of curiosity about Liu Chuang's rapid rise. Especially after Liu Chuang abandoned Qingzhou and went to Liaoxi, Xu Shu also seriously inquired about the situation in Liaodong along the way. At this time, the four counties of Liaodong. The total population is about seven or eight hundred thousand, and if you add Kasuma and other alien races. It has a population of one million.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people in this remote Liaodong, which really surprised Xu Shu.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was stronger than the national strength, what is the comparison? It's nothing more than money, food and population...... Population is the foundation of a strong country.

You must know that there are 11 counties and countries in the entire Youzhou; There are 90 counties and towns, with a population of more than 400,000 households and about 2.5 million people.

Liaodong alone accounts for nearly one-third of the total population of Youzhou.

This also made Xu Shu and the others have a strong interest in Liaodong......

At that time, the Central Plains War was about to start, and the pattern of Yuan Cao's struggle for hegemony had emerged. It is conceivable that once the battle between Yuan and Cao comes to an end, the winner will surely unify the north. And Liu Chuang's choice of Liaodong at this time is to avoid? Or is there something else going on? It's really curious.

Therefore, Xu Shu came to Liaoxi with resentment and curiosity.

Of course, he also has a purpose, which is the Nanshan Academy in Lonely Bamboo City.

At this time, the construction of Nanshan Academy had not yet been completed, but the names of Zheng Xuanguan, Ning Bingyuan, Hu Zhao, Xunyue, and other famous scholars and Confucians were enough to attract many people. Xu Shu and the three of them came to Jingzhou to study in Shuijing Villa, and when they heard that Mrs. Xu had come to Liaoxi, the three had to ask Sima Hui for their resignation. How do you know that Sima Hui sighed with emotion, saying that the three of them went to Liaoxi, which was a great blessing.

Now that Kang Chenggong and others have arrived in western Liaoning, they are bound to reopen Nanshan Academy.

It's a pity that I'm not in good health and can't stand the bitter cold in Liaodong, otherwise I would have to go and participate in the grand event. The three of you go over there, if you have the opportunity, you might as well study under Kang Chenggong and others. I believe that what you will gain there will be far better than here, and there will be no other chance. By the way, I have a good friend who is also a famous man in Jingzhou, named Huang Yan, and you must have heard of his name.

He is now in Liaodong, you might as well visit him, maybe there will be a greater opportunity......"

I think that at the beginning, Huang Zu killed You Heng, which had a great impact.

The scholars of Jingzhou also have a lot of accusations against the Huang family in Jiangxia, but they still have great appreciation for Huang Yan.

Of course, Xu Shu and the others had heard of Huang Yan's name, so they were also very surprised. It is precisely because of this that the three of them do not have much sense of resistance.

Although Sima Hui is a famous person in Jingzhou, there is still a big gap between him and Zheng Xuan.

The three of them also had the idea of studying and came with Liu Bin Taishi Xiang...... And Liu Chuang's attitude towards them also reduced the resentment in the hearts of the three of them a lot.

It's really tiring to run all the way.

Under Liu Chuang's arrangement, Xu Shu went to rest in the post house.

Lu Zhu smiled: "Meng Yan seems to have a lot of importance for these three people!" ”

Liu Chuang nodded, and said with a straight face: "Among these three people, there are at least two of them who have the talent of county guards. ”

"Oh?"

When Lu Zhu heard this, he immediately became curious.

On the way to Linyu, he had a lot of exchanges with the three of them, and he noticed that the knowledge and knowledge of these three people did not seem to be very bad.

But Liu Chuang said that at least two of the three people can become a county guard...... What is the concept of a county taishou? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system had not yet appeared. So there is no grade difference. But if you take Yulu as an example, a county is too guarded, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones, and he is definitely a capable minister. Lu Zhu was very strange in his heart: Where did Liu Chuang come from, and found such talents?

In contrast, among Liu Chuang's several wives, Elk is the most valued by Liu Chuang.

But if in terms of strength, I'm afraid that in addition to Mrs. Gan, Elk's strength is also the weakest.

Xun Dan has the background of the Yingchuan Xun clan behind him, which is from the Wang family. children of the family; Behind Lu Lan, it is Lu Bu! And under Lu Bu, there are Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others. It has an absolute superiority in force. Even Zhuge Ling is from an official family, and her younger brother Zhuge Liang is now very important to Liu Chuang. Looking at Liu Chuang's meaning, it is clear that he wants to cultivate Zhuge Liang as a mastermind.

Compared with. The elk family was born as a businessman, and it is indeed not an advantage.

In the future, if Elk has a child, if he does not have a strong backer and background, it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with others. Whether it is out of consideration for the elk, or for the future of the elk family, the elk has to win over some capable people. And Xu Shu, the three of them. Seems like a good choice.

Liu Chuang would not have thought that his casual words would make Lu Zhu have many thoughts.

But even if you know. He wouldn't care!

The arrival of Xu Shu and the others, plus Cui Zhouping, who is now following Zheng Xuan's side, and the four friends of Zhuge in history, have gathered together.

Cui Zhouping and Zhuge Liang already know each other, and they have a good relationship.

But Xu Shu is three. And how did you get acquainted with Zhuge Liang?

Again, this is a nuisance...... After all, five people in history became friends. They are still white. But now, Cui Zhouping is helping Zheng Xuan build the academy, and Zhuge Liang has been worshiped by Liu Chuang and has begun to take charge of the situation. Can five people become friends as they have historically been? Liu Chuang also has no score. But no matter what, since Xu Shu and the three of them are here, they must not let it go.

"Childe, I failed to invite the country this time, and Shiyun is incompetent."

Zhao Yun bowed down to Liu Chuang to plead guilty, and Lu Zhu on the side also hurriedly stepped forward.

"Eh, Zilong's words are over!

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life...... What's more, Tian Yu didn't say anything to death, there will always be a chance to invite him to come again in the future.

Zizhong, you came back just in time this time, and now the situation in Liaoxi is extremely chaotic, and Chun Yuqiong's guy got involved, but I have enough excuses to continue to stay in Liaoxi. He asked us to talk to Bunton, and I plan to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate.

I am going to have you as the chief envoy and Yan Rou as the deputy envoy...... Go talk to Badun. ”

Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

This is also the first time that Liu Chuang has entrusted him with a heavy task after he joined Liu Chuang. This also means that he will officially enter Liu Chuang's central circle, as long as he can do things properly this time, Liu Chuang will inevitably treat him differently in the future, and sooner or later he will become a core member.

"Uncle Huang can rest assured, Zhu will live up to his mission."

"Zilong, Hengruo has recruited soldiers and horses neatly, but there is still a shortage of enough war horses.

However, I believe that it will not be long before the horses are replenished, and before that happens, you will begin to arrange and train your troops.

Tomorrow, you will lead the Flying Bear to ride to the Liugu River and wait for the dispatch of Lu Wenhou.

In terms of cavalry warfare, Wenhou cavalry is unparalleled in the world. You may wish to ask him for more advice, I believe it can be a lot of benefits...... In addition, Yuan and Gao Shun are both generals and have outstanding military skills. In terms of bravery, you are far superior to the two of them, but in terms of the art of war, you are far from the same. You can also observe the method of using troops by these two people, the battle of Liaodong, the flying bear ride will not participate, but when our soldiers leave Liaodong, it is the time when you fly the bear ride to show your might. Therefore, you must be more attentive and do not disappoint my high expectations for you. ”

Liu Chuang's admonition to Zhao Yun made even Lu Zhu jealous.

He planned to win over Zhao Yun.

But now, Lu Zhu can see the clue: it is estimated that it is very difficult to win over Zhao Yun.

With Liu Chuang's emphasis on Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan, the brothers, he will never allow anyone to win them over.

If he co-opted Zhao Yun and the others, it would be counterproductive...... Instead of this, it is better to try to make friends with Zhao Yun. As long as he can maintain a good relationship with Zhao Yun Xia Houlan, it is enough to maintain the interests of Elk. In addition, there is Xu Chu, and he must also try to make friends.

Flying bear ride, the old camp is Liu Chuang's roots, and he will never allow anyone to get involved in it.

Therefore, these two forces can be acquainted, but they cannot be co-opted......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In mid-July, Bang Dun and Liu Chuang officially started negotiations.

Badon suffered a heavy defeat. But the vitality is not injured, and there is still the strength to fight.

Besides, although Karasuma has been extinguished, but the seven major orders are under his command, and there are more than one million people, how can he be afraid of Liu Chuang?

It's just that because of Chun Yuqiong's face, he had to stop the war and sit down to negotiate with Liu Chuang.

And what about Liu Chuang?

Although Liuguhe won a great victory, in fact, he was still at a disadvantage in western Liaoning.

First of all. He had only a few tens of thousands of men in his hands, a people who could be called upon, except for soldiers and horses. It's only 50,000 people.

Don't look at his extremely tough expression in front of Chun Yuqiong, to put it mildly, his toughness is a bit loud. Chun Yuqiong is in the Central Plains and knows Liu Chuang's reputation. Therefore, I am afraid. In addition, the two of them are both out of Yingchuan, although it is a hostile relationship, but after all, they have not torn their faces. Chun Yuqiong also has the idea of calming things down, more or less, and has some bias towards Liu Chuang.

In short, Liu Chuang was cautious. And Badon also has his own plans.

From the very beginning, the negotiations between the two sides went extremely unsmoothly, even to say. There is a lot of disagreement.

With the upper hand, it is naturally impossible to bow to Liu Chuang.

And Liu Chuang took advantage of Chun Yuqiong's momentum, and needed to delay time to ensure that Zhuge Liang could deploy smoothly.

The two sides held the first negotiation at the foot of Louzi Mountain.

But on the first day. The two sides almost clashed in the middle of the room......

Liaoxi, Yangle.

Chun Yuqiong patted her forehead. A bitter face.

"You mean, they almost got into a fight?"

"General, not only did you almost fight, but you have already started......"

"Oh?"

The person in charge of supervising the negotiations between the two sides, surnamed Wang Minghe, was an official in western Liaoning.

This person was originally a native of Fuyu State, and later because he offended the nobles of Fuyu State, he came to Liaoxi, and with his fluent Chinese, he was proficient in Fuyu Country and Goguryeo, as well as indigenous languages such as Karasuma, Xianbei and Xiongnu, so he became a county official in Liaoxi, and slowly became the main bookkeeper.

Liaoxi has been in a state of chaos and has not been stationed for many years.

Wang He took advantage of this opportunity to quickly establish his prestige in western Liaoxi and became a representative figure of local officials.

After Chun Yuqiong took office, he attached great importance to Wang He, and worshiped him as his right-hand man, assisting him in the negotiation of Liu Chuang and Bang Dun.

Wang He smiled bitterly and said: "Mo Li, the envoy of Badun, asked Uncle Liu Huang to release the captured Karasuma people, and asked Uncle Liu to give up the Liuguhe camp and retreat for a hundred miles. At the same time, he asked Uncle Liu Huang to compensate 10,000 slaves, as well as 6,000 stones of grain and grass...... General, how could Uncle Liu Huang agree to such harsh conditions?

And Uncle Liu's condition is that it is okay to release people.

One man, two horses, three cows...... Badun withdrew from Louzi Mountain, and also assisted Uncle Liu Huang in building a city in Liugu River.

These two are simply ...... It's like a lion's mouth.

Uncle Liu Huang now has more than 10,000 prisoners under his command, which means that if he releases all the prisoners, he will give him 20,000 horses and 30,000 cattle. General, you think, how could you agree to Uncle Liu's conditions if you are arrogant and arrogant in Liaoxi?

As soon as the two sides negotiated, they immediately quarreled.

Mo Li's subordinate Karasuma general Mo Chengyan drew his sword at that time, and the military attache sent by Uncle Liu Huang was Xiahou Lan...... It is said that it is Uncle Liu's personal guard, and his courage is outstanding. If it weren't for the humble people who came forward to stop it, then Mo Chengyan would have died under Xiahou Lan's sword......"

Xiahoulan!

The corners of Chun Yuqiong's eyes twitched and sighed softly.

This guy is original, but my part...... I didn't expect such a thing to be cheaper than Liu Mengyan.

However, this guy is really handsome!

Chun Yuqiong subconsciously glanced at Yuan Chaonian on the side.

During this time, he was busy facilitating negotiations between the two sides, so he had not yet had a chance to attack Yuan Chaonian.

Anyway, when it comes to the meat in your mouth, you can eat it at any time, and you are not in a hurry at this time!

It's just that this is not a fuel-efficient lamp, whether it is a waste or Liu Chuang. The conditions offered by the two sides were so different that Chun Yuqiong felt a headache.

"Chao Nian, what do you think about this?"

Yuan Chaonian was stunned, his face was confused, and his handsome face fascinated Chun Yuqiong even more.

"General, they can't talk about it like this."

"Wang He, what do you say?"

Wang He smiled bitterly: "What Chao Nian said is not bad, the gap between the two sides is very big, even if they talk, I'm afraid they can't be discussed."

Moreover, at this time, it is impossible for either Badun or Uncle Liu Huang to give in, and the most likely thing is to fight again on both sides to see who wins and who loses. ”

"Still fighting?"

Chun Yuqiong had a headache and was distressed.

Wang He said: "General, the current situation is that neither side thinks that they have lost, and both think that they can win......

In this case, let them sit down and negotiate, it is the face of the general. But it is precisely because of this that the two sides are very different.

I thought that if we didn't let them know, it would be difficult to continue talking. ”

"That means, do you have to fight?"

Wang He and Yuan Chaonian nodded in unison.

Badun wanted to fight, but Liu Chuang had to fight......

Chun Yuqiong closed her eyes, and after a long silence, she spoke: "Wang He, you continue to supervise, and let them talk about it again to see if they can continue to talk."

If you can't talk about it, you can withdraw and let them go. ”

Actually, there is no need to talk about the roots.

But Chun Yuqiong was a little unwilling, after all, he single-handedly facilitated this negotiation.

And that's the end of it? He will feel very shameless...... Overall, he still hopes that the two sides will negotiate quickly, and then Liu Chuang will leave Liaoxi as soon as possible and return Liaoxi to peace. However, Chun Yuqiong also knows that in the current situation, this possibility is not very large.

Damn Yuan Xianyi, you provoked something, but you want me to finish it up for you.

No wonder you are not valued by the general, you are simply a guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!

Thinking of this, Chun Yuqiong's dissatisfaction with Yuan Xi aggravated a lot......

ps: It's the middle of the month, ask for a monthly pass!!
